Newport match thread

Quoted from moosey_club

Usain Bolt is a very athletic looking person , doesnt mean he is a good League 2 striker....Gibson really is useless with a football.

Edwards i am afraid has already dipped over the horizon for me....looked very exciting at first....but with each passing game i have got less and less excited to the point i no longer bother getting excited when he gets the ball, i now just try and predict at which point he will waste/lose possession, immediately...after the first man is beaten, maybe the second, maybe he will beat 3 men this time before knocking it for a throw in.
Zero end product.

I dont know where our budget fits with other teams in this division  but I try to take a pragmatic view . Make and try to get the best out of the players we have.

Hopefully Edwards will improve. Has some spark there and I always like watching him.

we have had Edwards type players in the past, Dembele, the lad last year, name forgotten  no end product, but worth keeping for the odd moment of quality,

We have a salary cap, so the same as everyone else, supposing we've spent to the limit. Board say we haven't or have, depending on which interview you listen to.

With moosey on this one. Edwards has become increasingly frustrating and wasteful. He can beat as many players as he wants but it currently counts for jack shitt as his final ball/decision making is little better than appalling.

We are pathetically poor up front right now.

Players like Dembele can make things happen though. I love a player that can take on a opponent.

Thanks for the information.

Well Boris, we have a massive squad, so if it's not gone, it can't be far off.

Loads of 5/10 meh player performances moulded into a 3/10 team performance ending in a 2-0 home defeat to a team that don't really look to have the quality of a table topping side..

It wasn't a 3/10 performance. Granted, it wasn't very good, but we lost to the team that's top of the league and they created one chance from open play after 1 minute and that was it. Yes, we self inflicted it with daft fouls and didn't deserve a goal, but it wasn't terrible. Sides lower down won't press as hard as Exeter and Cheltenham have done, so our style of play might be more successful with a bit more time for players to make decisions.

My biggest problem is this side reminds me so much of Slade a couple of years ago. Big squad, pass it around ok in the middle of the park, give away soft goals, never look like scoring a goal first, best football comes when we're behind and the opponents can sit back.

Can't even pass the ball when hitting it only 5 yards, that's about all the players.

Stop hoofing it past midfield thinking you are passing it to Vardy to run onto, you aren't

Someone tell Edwards he isn't Sterling even if he thinks he is. Send him on an intensive, "How to keep your balance course" Then preferably pass it to one of our own players, instead of losing it 9 times out of 10

Shoot when you get a chance, the goal is the rectangle thing with a net behind it.

The number of fouls we gave away last night was ridiculous. 20 is a joke

Succesful crosses, zero. Corners please oh please try to hit it past the first defender.

When playing it out from the back and it isn't working you could always try another way.

Hitting it past a defender is wonderful if you have the speed to outrun him, you don't so stop it.
